The Holidays Around My House

Just a few glimpses of the holiday decor around my house... I kept things simple this year, just like I did last year. Simple just always makes me happy. My goal this year was to use what I had and not buy anything new. Of course I didn't meet my goal, but the items I did purchase were inexpensive, so that doesn't count right??

A few weeks ago, I went to TJMaxx to find a lamp for my guest bedroom. I walked out of the store with the garland for the wine glass chandelier and the sequin skirt for the tree. No lamp... TJMaxx gets me almost every time! Does it get you, too? Remember those Crate & Barrel candle holders that I mentioned here?? Well they were on sale on Black Friday, so I purchased them that day under the premise I could use them all year round. I love em', so I'm sure that will be the case! I found the quilted stockings and the little monogram pins at Target and I loved the way they turned out. They are for my mom (M), dad (D) and my brother Chad (C). I am going to fill them with little sentimental gifts instead of wrapping individual gifts for them this year. I hope they like them!
